The competition’s initiator invited all kids in the metropolitan area to participate and also put together a jury of well-known Lithuanian artists and designers. A total of 112 children took part in the competition. From among their submissions, the jury selected 40 winning works.

Even more of the submissions were labels for products thought up by the children themselves. Among the most popular were juices, ice cream, honey and a variety of sweets. In naming products, the kids showed a remarkable sense of humor and inventiveness: “Hornets’ Nest Honey”, “Sweet and Sour Teachers’ Apples”, “Dandelion Milk Straight from Lithuania’s Fields!”, “Cactus Juice”, “Curly Popcorn”, “Happy Juice”, “Lemon Marmalade”, “Happy Tomato Juice”, “Angry Peppers”, “Happy Tomatoes”, “Rose Honey”, “Bunny Ice Cream”, “Jolly Ice Cream”, “Sweet Honey”, “The Most Delicious Honey – Only Here”, “Puffy-cheek Tomato Juice”, “Space Juice”, “Big-eyed Ice Cream”, “Heart Like a Berry”.

Label and packaging manufacturer Aurika was impressed by the submissions and printed the labels that participants had created for presentation to the children themselves and for a display in the courtyard of the art school.

“We were impressed by the sincerity and artistry of the labels that the school children created. These works could absolutely be successfully used for real products since the labels immediately catch your eye and advertise the chosen products extremely well,” said Justas Ivanauskas, representative of Aurika. “We plan to make this type of initiative an ongoing tradition since we believe manufacturers will be interested in child-designed labels and use them for their products.”

We are sharing the winning entries from the competition and would like to know your opinion: which of them would be most suitable for real products?
